這場戲：從超市裝袋到最有價值球員
第 27 章 · 共 27 章 · 2'19"
隊友把比賽用球塞給庫爾特，說你 earned it（這是你掙來的）；教練誇他打得好，他回一句 thank you for believing in me（謝謝您信我）。然後是解說那句 from the Hy-Vee to the MVP（從海威超市走到了最有價值球員）。想學怎麼感謝、怎麼講一個人的逆襲，這場聽完就懂。
每個孩子都 dreams of 的場面（夢寐以求）
dreams of 夢寐以求Two minutes to go 還剩兩分鐘how many times 多少次、數不清多少回
穀倉風暴隊拿下比賽，隊友把比賽用球塞給庫爾特，說 Man, you keep that game ball. You earned it.（留著吧，這是你掙來的）。教練誇他 Well done. It was a beautiful thing to watch.（幹得漂亮，看著真享受），庫爾特回 Thank you for believing in me, Coach.（謝謝您相信我）。他和布倫達抱在一起，說自己也不知道 where we go from here（接下來往哪走），只知道 We did this together.（這是我們倆一起做到的）。解說接著講他的故事：Kurt Warner has brought hope back to St. Louis.（把希望帶回了聖路易斯），五年前他還在 bag groceries（裝袋理貨），如今 goes from the Hy-Vee to the MVP（從海威超市走到了最有價值球員）。想學怎麼感謝、怎麼講逆襲故事，這段全是素材。
A1–C2 是歐標等級。點一個等級後，比它高的卡片會變淡，播放到那裡不會自動暫停。
“Man, you keep that game ball. You earned it.”
兄弟，這個比賽用球你留著。這是你掙來的。
把榮譽還給付出，不煽情，一句 You earned it 比任何誇獎都實在。
keep something, you earned it
把東西或功勞交給別人時能用；對朋友說暖心，對上司說別太隨意。
you deserve it ／ that one's yours
口語
keep 和 game 都重讀，earned it 連讀，語氣篤定。
Take the rest of the shift; you earned it. 剩下的班你休息，這是你應得的。
“So, he goes from the Hy-Vee to the MVP.”
就這麼著，他從海威超市一路走到了最有價值球員。
兩個地方一撞，整段逆襲不用形容詞就立住了。
go from A to B
說某人大跨度翻身時能用；對當事人當面講要帶敬意，別當玩笑。
from nothing to the top ／ from the stockroom to the boardroom
中性
from 輕讀，Hy-Vee 與 MVP 兩個重音要頂出來。
She went from intern to partner in six years. 她六年裡從實習生做到了合夥人。
“I can't tell you how many times I relived this as a kid.”
我說不清小時候在腦子裡重演過這一幕多少回。
用數不清的次數說一輩子的渴望，剋制反而更打動人。
I can't tell you how many times ...
想表達次數數不清、感觸很深時能用；對熟人分享，正式場合稍顯口語。
I've lost count of how many times ... ／ more times than I can count
中性
can't tell 連讀成 can-tell，how many times 提速。
I can't tell you how many times I played that song. 那首歌我放過多少遍，我自己都數不清。
“You couldn't ask for a better script.”
再好的劇本也寫不出這樣的結局。
把現實說成連編劇都寫不出的劇本，誇得含蓄又到位。
you couldn't ask for a better X
遇到結果恰好理想時能用；對剛辦成事的人說很得體，別用來說反話。
it doesn't get better than this ／ you couldn't write it better
中性
couldn't ask 吞 t 連讀，better 稍重，script 收尾乾脆。
We couldn't ask for a better first day. 第一天的行程再好不過了。
意思是「非常多、分量很重」。隊友誇庫爾特打得好，他回 that means a heck of a lot comin' from you，就是從你嘴裡說出來分量不一般。
believe in。庫爾特對教練說 Thank you for believing in me, Coach，意思是謝謝您一直相信我。
where we go from here。庫爾特對布倫達說 I don't know where we go from here，用來談自己也不確定的未來。
bag groceries。解說提到庫爾特五年前還在海威超市 bagging groceries，指在超市給顧客裝袋。
human-interest story。解說稱他的經歷是 The best human-interest story in sports in years，指打動人、有人情味的題材。
